So to help you plan your dream kitchen, we have written an article called “Kitchens – Hot Trends for 2010″.  We hope to give you a taste of what hot when it comes to kitchens this year so we have looked at kitchen trends across the main kitchen styles: Contemporary, Modern, Classic and Bespoke.

As we say in the article, kitchens in 2010 are all about warmth.  Even in contemporary kitchens, adding a warm colour within the design will cosy it up.  And that is precisely why two tone kitchens are so popular.  Before you buy a kitchen, read this article, and our other articles in our tips and advice section.  Once you have done that, you can browse through our supplier directory where you will find kitchen suppliers in your county and beyond.

Ever thought of a glass finished kitchen?  Maybe not!  But now you can.

Snaidero, the Italian kitchen manufacturer, has launched a new bespoke glass door in its Orange kitchen collection.  Available in both white and graphite grey, it can be finished beautifully with a 12mm lacquered tempered glass worktop to give a sleek contemporary look.

Another fact worth noting is that because glass in completely non-toxic and recyclable it will not add any unwanted contaminant to your kitchen making it a fantastic option for an eco-friendly kitchen.

This glass kitchen would also be fantastic for small kitchens or kitchens that lack natural light.  The glass in the doors and worktop produces a 3D feel which in turn offers great depth, lightness and transparency.  Just imagine what that would do for a small kitchen.  It would open it up and allow any light to illuminate and reflect off it which would make the kitchen look bigger and brighter.
